Remove express checkout options from Cart page only (Dawn theme)

Topic summary

Goal: Hide express checkout buttons (PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay) on the Cart page only in the Dawn theme so customers can use discount codes, while keeping express options at Checkout.

Proposed solution (works for many):

  • Add CSS in Online Store > Theme > Edit code > Assets > base.css (at the bottom):
    .cart__dynamic-checkout-buttons.additional-checkout-buttons { display: none !important; }
  • Reported as effective by the original poster and several others.

Mixed results and issues:

  • Some users say the buttons still appear; one notes it works on desktop but not on mobile. A request was made to share a store URL for further diagnosis.
  • One user reports ongoing difficulty despite contacting Shopify Support.

Additional requests (unresolved in thread):

  • Remove PayPal/express buttons from the Checkout “Information” step as well.
  • Inverse need: hide the standard checkout button and leave only PayPal available.

Status: Partially resolved for many using the CSS fix on the Cart page. Mobile inconsistencies and Checkout-page removals remain open without a confirmed solution.

This didn’t work for me either. Shopify REALLY needs to check this. My customers trend older and I am going to lose sales because of this.
